ref-manual/terms.rst: update Poky description
Poky as in the repository will no longer be updated. Update the description of Poky to remove the last bullet point, and add a note to say that Poky was used before.

470 :term:`BitBake`, :term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)`, the
471 :yocto_git:`meta-yocto </meta-yocto>` repository and the Yocto Project

475 This repository is still hosted at :yocto_git:`/poky` and is still
476 updated for maintained releases that are older than Whinlatter (5.3).
477 Newer releases now use ``bitbake-setup`` to clone and setup the initial
478 :term:`OpenEmbedded Build System` environment. For more information on
479 how to use ``bitbake-setup``, see the :doc:`/brief-yoctoprojectqs/index`
480 document. An alternative can be to setup the above repositories
481 manually, by following the :doc:`/dev-manual/poky-manual-setup`
482 section of the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
